Chilli idli fry recipe is a merge of Indo-Chinese cuisine. Idli‘s are cut into cubes, deep fried in oil, tossed with onion, capsicum and some sauces. If you don’t prefer deep frying, the idli‘s can be shallow fried, but the original recipe calls for deep frying. Kids who hate to eat idli also likes this chilli idli recipe. The leftover idli made in the morning, can be used to prepare this recipe and we have a happy feeling that we have not wasted any food. It is also a delicious and great dinner idea.
